Communism is the most effective way to make sure they starve to death.

Name another one that happened in China after that, go ahead. The coming of socialism often represented the end of long histories of periodic famines, that why the only ones people know about are the holodomor and great leap forward

1. Mao took power in 1949, the Great Chinese Famine began a full decade later. 2. I shouldn’t have to name any more famines after citing the deadliest famine in human history by an order of magnitude, but I’ll list several anyways: Kazakh famine of 1930–1933, the Cambodian genocide, Russian famine of 1921–1922, and the Soviet famine of 1946–1947. The great Chinese famine was so destructive that you can see it on charts of global life expectancy

Setting aside that none of those happened in China…okay, you named one that I will actually count, the Kazakh famine. Which I guess just so happens to be around the same time as the holodomor. The Soviet Union wasn’t formed until 1922 so idk what you’re talking about there. The soviet famine of 1946 was caused by a drought compounding the effects of oh I don’t know WWII. I genuinely don’t know why you threw Cambodia in there, as it is just not at all related.

If you really think “communism causes famines” I could start bringing up capitalist famines instead if you’d like

You can’t bring up any famine that killed 50 million people, because that has only been caused by a communist regime. It was ten times more deadly than the next deadliest famine in history. It killed twice as many people as WW1

There’s $5B of contingency funding that Trump has already ruled out using. And they can get rid of the filibuster if they want to
